Update 9 February 2026
Hello everyone,
Ben has been on road to recovery; he still has his bad days mentally and physically. Over the Xmas and New Year period, he has been relaxing and started his physio rehabilitation by slowly building up his strength to start walking again; it's still a long way to go.
He has also been up and walking on his prosthetic, but baby steps. He would like to thank everyone for the donations so far and would welcome any more donations going forward to help aid in his rehabilitating life ahead.
Thank you!
